What's on your mind?

Wondering if I should should shovel my elderly neighbours driveway. Or if it would be insulting to him, heβs like 75+ but he has better posture than me, he seems really strong still. Iβm just wondering because I remember a lady saying someone opened the door for her and she felt as if the person was insinuating sheβs a was a lil old lady and couldnβt do it for herself.
But if the snow accumulates too much itβll be too heavy for him to carry. And my snow blower I bought last year, stopped working so I have to make a decision NOOWW before it gets too heavy ya feel me.
My kids and I do this in my grandparents' neighborhood when we're there during the holidays. It's a way for us to get out of the jam-packed holiday festivities in the house for a bit, burn off dinner (or lunch, or breakfast) and chat.
When folks come to the door confused, I just yell: π£οΈ "We're exercising!"
They shrug or wave and go back inside. Wins all around.
TLDR: Do it anyway.2 -
Okay, so whatβs on my mind is: why do I feel itβs okay for my husband to chat and DM the female internet friends he makes through the internet channels/forums he participates in (e,g.: Twitter groups, other forums) but I feel guilty when I chat with dudes who have proven to be harmless here on MFP? WTF is up with the patriarchy making me feel like kitten?? π6

I'm always up for blaming the patriarchy for just about everything. But how does it apply here assuming neither of you are having flirtatious conversation (and/or have established what "crossing the line" means for your relationship with each other)?

Also, why is the "Strong Curves" book thicker (pun intended) than the majority of my grad textbooks?1

Β I'm a firm believer that nobody can MAKE you feel anything. Yes, other people may βtriggerβ you, and yes, itβs natural to feel upset when they do. But you are responsible for your own feelings.
I say this gently β€οΈ
No offence taken π.
Oh itβs not him, he knows and really doesnβt care. Maybe thatβs it? Maybe I want him to care more?
But like @MaltedTea has said, letβs blame the patriarchy where we can. π Truly though, I think it applies because thereβs a sense in society that itβs more βokayβ (not saying that it actually is) for guys to be more promiscuous than woman. Terms like βhome wreckerβ generally are used against women. I think itβs changing in society (slowly) and also coming to a realization that patriarchy also negatively affects men as well. I could go on but I just wanted to dump what was on my mind. Guess I need to evaluate why I feel slightly guilty...whereβs that Catholic Guilt coming from (even tho Iβm not catholic!)??6 -
So, I woke to an SMS from my bank to say my bank card had a temporary block put on it due to suspicious activity and to call the number in the SMS.
It says its the Fraud Squad number in the SMS , but is it really.? ..
It took me over 30 mins to verify that number actually was legit.
I think that's ridiculous that the bank always says be mindful of scams etc, yet they send you an SMS with a number for you to contact..smh.. I was so confused.. do I or don't I contact. Anyway, block removed but honestly I can't help but think how stupid it was.

That disagree must be a scroll click. Who would disagree with this?

If you're not sure just call the number on the back of your bank card.3 -

I thought about that but it is a general customer care number which doesn't open till 9am. So what I eventually did was log into my account and ask the live assist what their fraud squad number was and she confirmed it. Luckily it is a 24/7 open number so my card was unlocked instantly.1 -

I was remembering way back in the day when I first joined mfp and I dipped my toes into the forum.
I posted in a "smash or pass" thread legit thinking smash = hit (as in punch) Lol
I sure got a lot of new guy friends out of that one. π Oh the naivety!4
